PCA is only worth as much as you are willing to invest in it, IMHO.

Very true, I have been active on our board most of my 20+ years as a member of PCA, but sometimes you need to step back. Like PP, there are people (could be local to you too) who, like to work on their cars, and like to help others with their cars for nothing more than a hearty
Thank You and maybe a beer. What are you looking for in a club?? I can honestly say that I have met some people who have turned out to be great friends, and not short term either. Do you want to do track events or auto crosses?? You can go to events and if you meet one person, who is like you (and will feel the same way) it is worth it. I was lucky, the very 1st guys I met at one of my 1st club meeting have turned into life long friends. Today we sit back and watch the club drop, only because, we are tired of fighting the posers, but there is still a few events, with the club that we are active in. At a party my attorney hosted on NYE, he introduced me to a buddy of his, who has a few old 911s, but doesn't know much, but wants to learn how to drive and everything else. He wouldn't sign up because he was worried about Tea Totalers & posers ( and this is a retired guy, early 50s maybe, living in a multi million dollar ocean front home)
Z put it best, you get what you put in, you can always find the good, the question is will it out weight the bad
